I don't think so. Boise State not only handed Kelly's Ducks a 19-8 loss here Thursday night, but the Broncos dominated Oregon.

Kelly's vaunted offense produced five first downs. (The Ducks had six, but one was by penalty). The Ducks averaged 1.8 yards per rushing attempt and had 152 yards total offense.

LeGarrette Blount had a minus-5 yards rushing, then finished the evening by sucker punching Boise State's Byron Hout at midfield and attempting to brawl with fans. Blount said a fan hit him as he was leaving the field. It was still an ugly scene, with Blount being restrained by assistant coach Scott Frost, police officers and security guards.

Kelly granted ESPN.com reporter Ivan Maisel complete access to the team on Wednesday and Thursday. So not only will the game and Blount's punch be constantly replayed on ESPN, but Maisel had a ringside seat. I'll be interested to see what he writes.

It's not the way Kelly wanted his first game as a college head coach to go. But, disastrous as it was, it's only one game. He and the Ducks still -- in theory -- can go 11-1. It will be interesting to see how he handles himself in his team in the wake of it all.

I won't have time to go through all the West Coast papers for this post. Late night, early morning, and I have a plane catch.

I'll put a few links on here, and more when I'm on the ground back in Portland.
